Google just started handing out Wave invites, and they're planning to dish out more all day. The door is open to 100,000 new users; if you're one of the lucky ones, you can share the love (and your invites) here.

It's 11am in Sydney, Australia, where the Wave team is based, so "all day" means they'll be handing out invites for quite a few more hours to come. From what I've heard, they seem to be sending out those invitations by hand (that is, it's not an automated push to every single user), so it will probably take some time.

If you were lucky enough to get an invite, you'll also score eight invitations of your own that you can hand out to your friends and colleagues. If you're interested in sharing the love with your fellow Lifehacker readers (and scoring some serious geek karma points), post a comment and let others know you've got an invitation or two to share. Users who don't mind putting their email in a public place (we always type it out like tips at lifehacker.com, though you could use something like previously mentioned Scr.im) can reply to the offer and invites could go out on a first-come, first-serve basis. It's not the best system in the world, but hopefully it'll help get out some invites to some hungry-for-wave users.

Keep in mind that right now they're just sending out the initial batch of 100,000, so even if someone invites you, it's not going to be an instantaneous approval. In fact, if you were in the developer sandbox or you think you applied for an invitation early enough that you may be one of the 100,000, you may want to wait rather than waste an invite.
